Combinations of subscapular pediculated flaps have been used in recent years. These single pedicle flaps include the latissimus dorsi, the serratus, the scapular crest and the ortho and para-scapular skin flaps. Together these flaps comprise a combined subscapular transplant. This combined flap is particularly important since the different components provide great spatial flexibility. Complex and massive pluri-tissular substance losses can thus be reconstructed. We report our work in anatomy and techniques. We found variations in the origin of the subscapular pedicle in 25% of the cases in our anatomy study (50 cases). We recommend dissection of the vascular pedicle via the axillary route first. Thus necessary adaptations can be made as a function of the variations observed. This combined flap can be removed with the patient in supine position. The fact that the position of the patient does not have to change is essential for cervicofacial surgery performed by two teams. The pedicle of the cutaneous scapular flaps is dissected starting ventrally. Since 1990, we have performed 15 combined subscapular transplantations for cervicocephalic reconstructions.
